Can we add security Realm to glassfish-resources

Question

Hi I am currently using JDBC realm in Glassfish 4.1.1 for authentication, and I wonder if I can add the configuration of jdbc realm to glassfish-resources.xml, so that when migrate, I can just call

 asadmin add-resources glassfish-resources.xml 

to add all jdbc connection, datasources, and jdbcRealm to the new glassfish server?

Answer 1

No, you cannot configure the security realm in glassfish-resouces.xml. See the DTD, there is no element for that. There is a feature request open for that, see GLASSFISH-20874.

You can use a shellscript and the asadmin commands to do automatic configuration for all your resources or just for the security realm (create-auth-realm). Or use the REST-configuration interface.
